Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Sonim Technologies names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Apr 15, 2026: 42 risks under these headings, as written.7
- Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
- The future development and growth of crypto is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to predict and evaluate. If crypto does not grow as we expect, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
- In the U.S., any particular cryptocurrency’s status as a ‘security’ is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and if we have not properly characterized one or more cryptocurrencies, we might be subject to regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, and other penalties.
- If the SEC, a state regulator or a private litigant alleges that staking services we offer in the U.S. involve unregistered offers and sales of securities or unregistered securities broker-dealer activity in violation of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or applicable state laws or regulations, and the courts agree with such plaintiff, we may be required to cease our staking activities and may be subject to monetary and other penalties.
- Cryptocurrency laws, regulations, and accounting standards are often difficult to interpret and are rapidly evolving in ways that are difficult to predict. Changes in these laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with them, could negatively impact cryptocurrency trading on our platform.
- A temporary or permanent blockchain “fork” could adversely affect our business.
- We currently rely on third-party service providers for certain aspects of our operations, and any interruptions in services provided by these third parties may impair our ability to support our customers.
- To become competitive and stimulate consumer demand, we must successfully manage the introduction of services and the transition and enhancement of existing services.
- We participate in a competitive industry, which may become more competitive. Competitors with greater resources and significant experience in high-volume brokerage services may be able to respond more quickly and cost-effectively than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements.
- We are dependent on the continued services and performance of a concentrated and limited group of senior management and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could adversely impact our business.
- We continue to grow our business. The assumptions underlying these efforts may prove to be inaccurate, or we may fail to achieve the expected benefits from these efforts, and we may have to change our growth model in the future.
- If our products contain defects or errors, we could incur significant unexpected expenses, lose revenue, suffer damage to our brand and reputation, and be subject to liability claims.
The other 31 risks
- If our business does not grow as we expect, or if we fail to manage our growth effectively, our operating results and business will suffer.
- The market for our trading platform enhancements may not develop as quickly as we expect or may not develop at all.
- Our future success is dependent on our ability to create independent brand awareness for our company and products with potential customers, and our inability to achieve such brand awareness could limit our prospects.
- We are exposed to risks associated with strategic transactions.
- Risks Related to Our Financial Condition
- The report of our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2025 contains a statement with respect to substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We may not be able to continue as a going concern if we are unable to raise additional funding.
- We may not generate sufficient liquidity to operate our business and maintain its growth.
- We are not currently profitable with our current trading volume and commission revenue and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
- Our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income will be subject to certain limitations.
- Risks Related to Information Technology and Intellectual Property
- Our products and services rely on software and systems that are highly technical and have been, and may in the future be, subject to interruption, instability, and other potential flaws due to software errors, design defects, and other processing, operational, and technological failures, whether internal or external.
- A security breach or other significant disruption of our IT systems or those of our partners, suppliers, or manufacturers, caused by cyberattacks or other means, could have a negative impact on our operations, sales, and operating results.
- If we are unable to successfully protect our intellectual property, our competitive position may be harmed.
- Others may claim that we infringe on their intellectual property rights, which may result in costly and time-consuming litigation and could delay or otherwise impair the development and commercialization of our products.
- Increasing regulatory focus on privacy and cybersecurity issues and expanding laws could expose us to liability, subject us to lawsuits, investigations, and other liabilities and restrictions on our operations that could significantly and adversely affect our business.
- Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters
- Changes in laws and regulations concerning trading of cryptocurrencies could increase our costs and adversely impact our business.
- The unfavorable outcome of any future litigation, arbitration, or administrative action could have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
- We may incur substantial costs and receive adverse outcomes in litigation, regulatory investigations, and other legal matters in connection with alleged violations of securities laws and regulations.
- We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, economic sanctions, export control, and similar laws. Non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal or civil liability and harm our business, revenues, financial condition, and results of operations.
- The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract our management, which could make it difficult to manage our business.
- Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
- Our membership interests in our operating subsidiary are subject to a put option in favor of a third party that is exercisable until June 30, 2026 unless we achieve certain operating milestones. If the put option is exercised before we are able to achieve the milestones, our rights to our cryptocurrency trading platform could be lost, which could have a material adverse effect on us, may require us to cease operations, and could cause you to lose all of your investment.
- Our business and operations could be negatively affected if we become subject to stockholder activism or hostile bids, which could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of our business strategy and impact our stock price.
- We are required to meet the Nasdaq continued listing requirements and other Nasdaq rules, or we may risk delisting. Delisting could negatively affect the price of our common stock, which could make it more difficult for us to sell securities in a future financing or for you to sell our common stock.
- We may become a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, may qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If we rely on these exemptions, our stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.
- Sales of our common stock under resale registration statements or the perception of such sales in the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well.
- Our quarterly results may vary significantly from period to period, which could make our future results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below investor, analyst, or our expectations.
- The financial and operational projections that we may provide from time to time are subject to inherent risks.
- Some provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a change in control and may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over its market price.
- Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters and the U.S. federal district courts as the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.
- The market price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate or decline, resulting in substantial loss of your investment.
- General Risk Factors
- Natural or man-made disasters and other similar events may significantly disrupt our business and negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.
- Our operations and performance depend significantly on global and regional economic conditions and adverse economic conditions can materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
- Economic uncertainties or downturns, or political changes, could limit the availability of funds to our customers and potential customers, which could significantly adversely impact our business.
